Description Dax Kelson 2002-08-20 06:01:35 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3; Linux)

Description of problem:
When logging to the GNOME2 desktop:

Desktop -> Start Here -> Server Settings

The following redhat-config apps exist:

Domain Name Service
HTTP Server
NFS Server
Services

All of them EXCEPT for redhat-config-httpd uses pam_timestamp. This is inconsistent,unexpected and confusing behavior for the "newbie" Linux sysadmin who is most likely to be using these GUI configuration apps.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. less /etc/pam.d/redhat-config-httpd
2. Notice how pam_timestamp is NOT used
3. Compare to the other redhat-config apps
	

Actual Results:  n/a

Expected Results:  n/a

Additional info:

There are 22 /etc/pam.d/redhat-config-* files.

It looks like ALL of them use pam_timestamp except for:

redhat-config-printer
redhat-config-printer-tui
redhat-config-httpd

Comment 1 Tim Waugh 2002-08-20 08:08:40 UTC
TUI apps must not use pam_timestamp, which takes redhat-config-printer-tui out 
of your list.  Also, the command 'redhat-config-printer' may end up invoking 
the TUI app, and so it also intentionally doesn't use pam_timestamp. 
 
(The menus run 'redhat-config-printer-gui', which *does* use pam_timestamp.) 
 
So this bug report just concerns redhat-config-httpd.

Comment 2 Phil Knirsch 2002-08-20 09:50:51 UTC
OK, fixed in CVS. Somehow this didn't make it into the fixes i made recently to
redhat-config-httpd.

Next build will include the fix.

Read ya, Phil
